Optomet GmbH

Optomet is considered a technological leader in laser Doppler vibrometry. With the SMART Series, vibrations and modes can be fully captured, synchronized, and analyzed digitally – from individual components to complete aircraft structures.

Typical applications in aerospace:

Engine / Propulsion:

• Blisk and turbine blade testing (mistuning, resonances, lifetime)
• Compressor and turbine stages (aeroacoustic coupling, vibration analyses)
• Engine housings & mounts (modal analyses, resonance behavior)
• Propeller and fan testing (efficiency, aerodynamically induced vibrations)
• Electric / hybrid / hydrogen propulsion (e-motors, generators, fuel cells)

Structure / Airframe:

• Full-body modal analyses of entire aircraft (unique worldwide)
• Aerodynamic testing → coupling of airflow and structure, vibrations in wind tunnels
• Wind tunnel tests on wings, fuselage, and tail (aeroelasticity, flutter boundaries)
• Composites & new materials (damping, fatigue, damage detection)
• Landing gear (impact, durability, and fatigue tests)

Cabin / Comfort:

• NVH analyses in cabin and cockpit (noise, vibration, comfort)
• Interior components (seats, panels, linings)
• Avionics modules & electronics (vibration resistance)

Rotors / Helicopters / eVTOL:

• Rotor blades & rotor dynamics (vibration behavior, comfort, safety)
• Urban air mobility / passenger drones (propellers, structure, cabin)

Space:

• Satellite structures (eigenmodes, resonances, lifetime)
• Ariane / launcher components (pyroshock, launch vibrations)
• Sensors & payloads (vibration resistance, functional reliability)

Optomet is the world’s only provider of full-body solutions. This allows complete aircraft, rotors, or engines to be examined in a single measurement run. Engineers gain a comprehensive picture of vibration behavior, enabling early detection of weaknesses and reduced development times.

Our modular hardware and software platform goes beyond pure measurement technology. It enables the import of 3D models from simulations and direct comparison with real measurement data. In this way, Optomet helps close the reality gap – the deviation between simulation and reality – and validate digital twins.

Our systems support you in making products quieter, more efficient, and more reliable – from initial design to qualification in the test field.
